A Middle-Grade Journey of Growth, Self-Discovery, and Body Positivity

Book Description:

Twelve-year-old Cree Daniels loves basketball, baggy hoodies, and belting out her favorite songs-secretly, of course. But when her body starts changing and her friendships begin to shift, Cree feels like the girl she sees in the mirror isn't who she's always been.

Determined to make sense of her new reality, Cree begins a "positivity journal," writing down the emotions she can't share out loud. Between awkward gym class moments, tension with her best friend, and her growing passion for music, she wonders if she'll ever be comfortable in her own skin again.

Yet Cree soon discovers that change doesn't have to be scary-or lonely. With the support of her family, a surprising new ally, and her unstoppable love for singing, she learns to embrace the evolving girl in the mirror. Because sometimes, growth means discovering new facets of yourself you never knew existed.
